1.63 RENWICK (IRE); 4.50 BROTHERLY COMPANY (IRE); 5.50 LORD GETAWAY (IRE); 7.00 BLACK ANTHEM (IRE); 7.50 MAHLERMADE (IRE); 10.00 WEST TO CROSSGALES (IRE); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

RENWICK has improved in each of his three starts so far this year and a repeat of his latest runner-up effort at Uttoxeter may suffice. The handicapper has left him alone and that was a slightly stronger race than this. Black Anthem was a hurdles winner here only three starts ago and can improve on his comeback run, in this sphere, at Warwick. Lord Getaway certainly isn't out of it either.

Preview:

TARDREE made a perfect start to his chasing career when making all over this trip at Uttoxeter last Thursday and a 7lb penalty might not be enough to anchor him if arriving in the same mood. Atlantic Storm brings winning course form to the table and is clearly in good heart as well, having struck at Stratford last month. He rates the biggest threat ahead of Siannes Star, who is interestingly ridden by Brian Hughes.

2.25 AWESOMEDUDE; 2.75 VALUPO (IRE); 3.33 BOLTISSIME (FR); 6.00 PEAKED TOO SOON; 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

Peaked Too Soon brings some solid bumper form to the table and something was presumably amiss when pulling up at Exeter last time. He warrants respect on his hurdling bow but the vote goes to VALUPO, who was an encouraging third at Navan in March and has since left 'Shark' Hanlon to join Olly Murphy. Awesomedude wasn't beaten far at Market Rasen and could make his presence felt here.

Preview:

ROBSAM went close to gaining his first victory when runner-up over C&D last month and this appears to be the ideal opportunity for Martin Keighley's gelding to go one better. Eden Collonges returned to form here when second on his latest start having appreciated the step back up in distance. He has to enter calculations along with What A Glance, who may benefit from going up in trip, and Calvinist.

PRESENT STORM stayed on well when third here over 2m last month and the manner of that performance suggested the extra half mile on this occasion would bring about improvement from the daughter of Presenting.

Preview:

TIMBERMAN has sandwiched his effort in an Aintree Grade 1 with novice hurdle victories, including in a first-time hood (worn again) at Market Rasen last month, and has the scope to make up into a useful handicapper. A mark of 120 may not be enough to halt Fergal O'Brien's charge on his handicap debut and he is taken to continue his progress to score again. Kentucky Hardboot was handed a mark of 121 following a clear-cut Huntingdon maiden win and looks the biggest threat getting weight-for-age from the selection, while The Some Dance Kid is also respected on the back of a silver medal off 4lb higher.

A tricky finale but there is plenty to like about the chances of WISECRACKER, who receives plenty of weight at the bottom of handicap and has only gone up 2lb for his short-head victory at Ludlow 15 days ago. Zamarkhan followed a pair of seconds in Newcastle jumpers' bumpers by filling the same position back over hurdles at Sedgefield and should give another good account. Begin The Luck is bidding for his third C&D win of the year and is also considered, along with Orchard Grove and Phoebus Lescribaa.
